1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.
8 A V* |" d9 }% h
) f9 O% L! Z6 @( T) F. zAll other islands are mountainous so Tinian has a x 4 AV multiple for forts, Saipan, Guam or Pagan would have x 12 because forts and mountains are mutiplactive. i.e. attacking the Marianas for the allies is a no choice option.5 I% }% P2 y4 c: C, e: f7 T" N6 W

2. Why did you not bomb before attacking.( D. I5 J. |. A1 Q
% F( P& j, V2 L) ?; z
Because it is not possible in WITP to interdict land reinforcements if the Japanese player is willing to take the losses he can put 2 or 3 Divs ashore in short order either by transport aircraft or massed AK invasion - Pauk did that to me at Gasmata so he knows the moves and PZB has completed it many times another 1,000 AV x 4 = no matter what the allies bring its not possible.

4. Why did you give up on SWPAC
) b1 d) O3 S' P9 C
4 Z5 Y( r v2 s1 f" J8 i' YSWPAC is a valid attack route BUT with every base having lvl 9 forts and the Japanese able to reinforce and it being malaria it is a VERY tough attack route. Remember Noemfoor against PZB a single Bde can stop 2 - 3 Divs of allied Troops for a long time. Forts are just to strong in jungle and Malaria.
